Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 23, 2013

In a survey conducted by iGearUnlimited of K-12 schools across the country, the company asked participants to name the most wanted features of an iPad case for schools. The answers didn't surprise anyone:

1. A rugged case that can protect the iPad from daily use and abuse

2. Not too bulky – need to fit in the popular Bretford charging cart and kids' backpack

3. Built-in kick-stand that works in both vertical and horizontal orientations

4. Trackable – school’s asset ID need show as a trackable barcodes on each case

5. Customizable – schools love to show their logo on each iPad case

6. Low cost – get the maximum amount of protection and features for the least amount of money

An overwhelming majority voted iGear's Slim Tough Case as their iPad case of choice because it's the only iPad case on the market designed to satisfy the needs of schools.

The second generation Slim Tough Case G2 offers multi-layer protection using a combination of (1) an outer soft rubber shell, (2) a rigid inner polycarbonate hard case, (3) a built-in clear screen protector, and (4) a slim profile that’s designed to fit the Bretford charging carts. This case is supremely shock absorbent and since all buttons and ports are tightly sealed, the Slim Tough Case provides rain and splash protection, while giving the user full access at the same time. A built-in stand offers a convenient way to stand the iPad in both orientations, for screen sharing or movie watching. It’s designed to fit in virtually all popular charging carts, including Bretford, Anthro, Datamation, and others.

In addition to its impressive feature set, iGear understands how important cost is for schools when deploying iPads in the classroom. The company announced an education web store (https://edu.igearunlimited.com) for schools, saving schools between 50% to 70% on bulk purchases, making the STC G2 one of the most affordable cases on the market at as little as $24 each.

A rugged case is a must for schools. According to an article published on Billings Gazette – "About 5 percent of the iPads purchased for school students and staffers in Powell Wyoming have had to be repaired or replaced since they were introduced last year. Eighty-one iPads worth $40,192 were damaged. Of those, seven belonged to teachers and administrators and 74 were assigned to students. The most common problem was broken screens.”

In a recent YouTube video, the company’s Slim Tough Case was put through a 20ft drop test from a second floor window to a driveway. The iPhone escaped without a scratch, while recording video the whole time. See drop test video here. The iPad case offers the exact same case design and level of protection.

Another unique feature of the Slim Tough Case the customization option. Using a Tough Skin decal, schools can print full-color logo artwork, asset tracking ID and barcode, and other information for each iPad, making managing multiple devices super easy.

“The iPad Slim Tough Case G2 is designed with school’s needs in mind.” says Jimmy Sun, president of iGearUnlimited.com. “It offers all the features technology directors ask for, and fits in the Bretford and other charging carts.”

The Slim Tough Case is available from iGearUnlimited.com. Pricing is as low as $24 each on bulk orders, making it one of the most affordable cases on the market.
